I have one as well. Can't attest to the takedown size 'cause I don't own one(yet). I've been using mine for backyard shoots and its pretty comfortable, I do have an older Bear back quiver that I like as well. The Vista is wider and taller than the Bear and I believe it holds more arrows. I think it would be a good hunting quiver for the winter, it has a big front pocket and the takedown slot for a little more storage. Don't have much time using it in the summer, so I don't know if its too warm on the back? I picked up a side quiver on
my last trip to my local archery shop and I'm really
liking how I can use that one as vertical and horizontal. carry.
